History: Trip Monroe wanted to be like his grandfather, one of
Vaudeville's biggest stars and stand-up comics. Sadly the audiences didn't
find him funny, his fiance dumped him and he ended up broke. However he then
discovered and unwittingly inherited the rest of his grandfather's legacy
- he found that he was a magician charged with defending the Earth from
other-dimensional threats, such as the Corpii. Armed with magic he doesn't
really understand, artifacts left to him by his grandfather, and comedy routines
that weren't funny in this dimension, never mind other ones, he is all that
stands between Earth and total destruction. And he's not happy about it.

information to the above page, and who describes Trip as "a failed standup
comic who, through circumstances, finds himself Earth's champion against
interdimensional religious warriors who are ruthless, bloodthirsty, and extremely
polite."
